I came here for my birthday dinner. This seems the birthday spot because at least 2 other guest were celebrating their birthday as well. Tony York's gives the fine dining experience with a quaint southern feel. Our server was excellent and very attentive. The food was good. I love going out to eat with multiple people especially if they let you sample their food. I got the crab cakes. They were fried a little too hard but were good. My favorite dish was the Jägerschnitzel. The fried chicken was a close second. I loved that Tony got on the piano and played Happy Birthday while guests sing. I got a free dessert for my birthday. I choose the creme brulee! I can't even put into words how good it was. The top was perfectly caramelized and the middle was rich and creamy. I will definitely be back!
Great food and service!! Very nice place - I recommend the Fish and Chips! Great waitress!
We stopped by Tony's on happenstance while traveling through Elizabethtown on our way home. We both ordered the fried chicken. It was great! The way fried chicken should be. Crispy but not greasy. We recommend!

The staff were very attentive and very accommodating! I am not a huge vegetable fan and yet I couldn't get enough of their asparagus. It was seasoned perfectly.
Six of us went to Tony's for the Easter buffet. It was a wonderful experience. The buffet included mixed green salad with roasted red peppers and pear, Cole slaw, pea salad, fried chicken, salmon, pork, potatoes, green beans, baked beans, greens, macaroni and cheese, corn pudding, rolls, peach cobbler, strawberries, whipped cream, banana pudding, and a mixed chocolate/vanilla pudding (looked like tiramisu, but wasn't). Everything tasted fabulous! My favorites were the salmon, the greens, and the cobbler. The service was friendly and attentive.
My husband and I have been wanting to try Tony York's for quite some time so we stopped here today for lunch. I can't say enough good things about this lovely place. I had the French dip and my husband had the chicken livers. Both meals were excellent. I sampled the chicken livers and they were the best I've had. Tony was such a wonderful host and our server, Judy was friendly and on top of everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
We came here for a large family lunch. We had about 15 -16 people. It was all arranged prior to our arrival. We were seated at a large table that seated the entire group. We had the option of fried chicken or meatloaf, green beans, mashed potatoes, salad. They did accommodate me with a gluten free option. I got the white fish. Most of the group got the fried chicken. A few got the meatloaf. Everything was served quickly. The food was tasty. The owner checked on us several times. The house was really cute and quaint. Would recommend for a group lunch.
I met a friend here today for lunch. I've been several times, but it was her first. We both ordered the chicken livers, and they were so good. There were so many I had to get a box to take the rest home in. Our waitress was very helpful and Tony stopped by our table to make sure everything was OK. I will definitely go back.
